What Causes Low Grade Fever, Leg Pain And No Appetite In Child?
Hi, my son is almost 7. He only weighs about 45lbs. He has came down with a low grade fever.(100.2), complaining of his legs hurting/aching when he walks and hes extremely tired with no appetite. My other 2 kids were sick last week,one with what im told was a virus with a horendous sore throat,the other with fever,no appetite x4 days and ear infection. Im not sure what this one can be.

baby appears to be affected by viral fever, probably got cross infection by sibling. baby may have fever for 3-5 days, given him paracetamol suspension for fever and body/limb ache, plenty of liquid intake to maintain hydarion. poor appetite is usually seen feature of viral infections, nothing to worry, appetite will improve in a week
